The AV 5150 operates over the frequency range from 15Hz to 100Hz. In
theory, because the wavelengths associated with this frequency range
(20m to 3m) are so large, the positioning of the AV 5150 with respect to
the other speakers in the system should not be critical. However, for the
best music reproduction keep the AV 5150 within a few meters of the main
system speakers. This is especially true if the AV 5150 is set to operate up
to its maximum bandwidth, or if it is being used with very small main
speakers.
The versatile design of the AV 5150 allows it to be used either horizontally
or vertically, for floor-standing, rack, or video-wall mounting.
Fitting the casters
The AV 5150 is supplied with casters, which you can fit to make it easier to
move the loudspeaker.
Screw each caster into the recessed threaded hole in each corner of the
base of the loudspeaker.
Fitting spikes
If you are positioning the loudspeaker on a carpeted floor we recommend
you fit the spikes supplied with the loudspeaker, as these will penetrate
the pile of the carpet and avoid damaging the carpet, while also giving a
more stable performance.
